400k in the bank lol

i spent all my money, oops

You make it sound like turning cash into a successful business is easy and a reasonable expectation to have. It's not even close.

Oh come on, I know its not easy, but I do think its a reasonable expectation to have.
Majority of entrepreneurs have very little capital, poker players who are decent winners have.
Poker players who are decent winners tend to be very intelligent and savvy, ofc there is other degen tendencies involved but we do have the odds in our favour if we want to invest in something we believe in.
I aint saying it is easy to turn cash into a successful business, what I am saying is we have every opportunity to do so.

sr15, thoughts?

I'm firmly in the camp that doesn't ever want a "real" job, even though like most players I feel I could talk my way into employment if I wanted to, which may be a very naive/unrealistic attitude.

My goal is to get to 2m in savings as quickly as possible because at that point IMO you are set for life and can live comfortably off investments/interest. But I'm <20% of the way there and have been complacent/losing money so far this year doing other things (donkaments/travel). It's depressing to think that it might be unrealistic to ever get there on current ability level if the games really do get that much tougher. I don't know.

However I have no problem picturing myself grinding at 40. To me poker is still an attractive a way as any to make money so I've never understood the attitude that it's supposed to be a disastrous life fail if you're still clicking buttons beyond your 20s if you're otherwise enjoying life and doing what you want to do.

I also think it's naive to just assume we can turn cash into business success too. Isn't the hardest step supposed to be increasing your wealth from 100k to 1m? I don't know but it strikes me as one of those things that is harder than a lot of poker players make it out to be.

Yes you are a huge bumhunter, and you are terrible.

You sit at infinite tables, and then refuse action, then refuse to quit, and sit back/in back out.

Nice work buddy.

edit: You've been table blocking 9 tables for 45 minutes and counting. Nice work using your sit in/sit out script. If you're not using a script, thats even funnier that you're this sad.

Any news on this?

Surely whichever site does it first will insta get all the regs?

I would move there even w less rakeback % to have the security of an rsa token FOR SURE.

Stars and FullTilt both have those RSA tokens...

whatever man, playing 6 max while bumhunting HU is what I do. I'm playing a bunch of 6max tables, then you sit at 6 of my HU tables, so I play 6 tables of HU while trying to play 6max, play terribly, donate 3 buyins to you, say GG and then you go sit at the last couple of HU tables I had open to annoy me. There's no shortage of HU tables on ipoker you know.
Anyway I'm off the tables now

He's never refused me action. But maybe that's just because I'm such a fish

is geeforce1 one of you guys

Why? What about him?

idk... i'm pretty sure i think he's pretty darn good

he is yep

Yes he is definitely one of the best msnl players on ipoker. And always friendly and easy-going in chat. I have lots of respect for him, and in return he's got lots of my moneys in his bank account

Really? I played him HU yesterday, and thought he was pritty bad :O So nitty and obvious. Guess he was just not picking up any cards at all

ya i just wanted to give him a shout out cause we've been battling and i think he's really good

pretty sure he was on like 142353234 6max tables most of yesterday so maybe he was on them while he was playing you.

He's one of the best weaktight regs.

Yeah, that's prolly it

yeah that was exactly I was thinking, in general Pro poker players tend to be smarter than the average people, so the odds of winning at poker, and creating a successful business must be pretty similar....


srry mi Inglish , its geting worse everidai... :S

no way that's true... a moderately intelligent person is way more likely to be successful in becoming a winning poker player than creating a successful business.

But is he more likely to be succesful in mid/highstakes poker than in buisness? Because I assume everyone in this thread plays at least midstakes. Not many % people have the ability to beat those stakes imo

yes and it's not even close

% of winning player: about 10%

% of successful business after 2 years: about 10%

odds dont lie...
